Jack London (Library of Biography)

Rating:
Summary: Jack London
Review: While reading this biography on Jack London, I often found myself unable to put the book down! The way the author, Alan Schroeder, describes London's experiences paints a clear picture in my mind. I think anyone who enjoys Jack London's works would enjoy his biography because there is so much to learn about his life and the experiences behind his stories. One unique thing about this book is the way the author tells you about these things. He tells you exactly what happened to London to compel him to write some of his greatest books. For example he wrote one of his most famous books, John Barleycorn, about his experiences with alcohol. You will read many exciting stories of London's life and learn that he grew up in a poverty stricken environment. He didn't grow up with a passion to write, in fact he never even completed any form of formal education (he never finished high school or college). He taught himself by reading books from the library. These are just a few of the interesting facts there are to read in this book, so pick up a copy to find out more!
